ALBANIA – An exciting night of a spectacle concluded in Albania. The 57th Festivali I Këngës, the Albanian national song festival which is used also as a national selection show for the Eurovision Song Contest was once again excellent to watch and a stunning production.

We have a winner though, the artist who will represent the country in Tel Aviv… Janida Maliqi was also the favourite of oikotimes.com poll voters.

Jonida Maliqi began her singing career at Festivali i Këngës when she was 13 years old with the song “Planeti i fëmijëve”, in a duet with Aleksandër Rrapi. In 1997 she returns to the Festivali with another duet, this time with Kastriot Tusha, a song dedicated to Mother Teresa.

Maliqi is also known for portraying Juliet in the Albanian musical version of Romeo and Juliet, alongside Alban Skënderaj. She hosted the fourth season of Dancing with the Stars Albania, and she also served as a judge on the fifth season of The Voice of Albania in 2016.

HUNGARY 🇭🇺 After Kati Wolf, AWS also create to Hungary's withdrawal from Eurovision. AWS represented Hungary at Eurovision 2018. The band's leader, Örs Siklós, also commented on Hungary's non-participation in Eurovision 2020. "Every country is trying to send in an artist who is a little different and stands out, either in his music, appearance and work or in his style. That's what differentiated us from the rest of us, and it was so amazing to see Eurovision fans, who are usually not familiar with metal music, lure us in and love our music. And I think we've gained a lot from our participation in Eurovision. It is very sad that Hungary will not participate in the next Eurovision. Honestly, I wasn't attending the competition before we got in, but this year I was watching everything and supporting Joci." #eurovision #oikotimes #melfest #umk #DestinationEurovision #eestilaul #srfesc #eurovisiongr  #openup 77 0
